ABSTRACTObjective: The objective of this study was to find out the etiology of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in patients attending B.K.L. Walawalkar Hospital,Dervan and to determine their antibiotic sensitivity pattern to currently used antimicrobial agents.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a rural hospital of Konkan Maharashtra, and urine samples were collected from368 clinically - suspected cases of UTIs using the mid-stream “clean catch” method and was tested and cultured using standard procedures. Antimicrobialsusceptibility test (AST) was performed for the isolated pathogens according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines.Results: Escherichia coli (54.84%) was the most prevalent uropathogen. 76.47% of the isolated E. coli were found to be extended spectrum betalactamase producers. A higher prevalence rate of resistance was seen among E. coli to the commonly prescribed antibiotic agents. 32 (94.11%) of34 E. coli isolates recovered had multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR), with 16 isolates (50%) possessing MAR indices of 0.6.Conclusion: The study indicates the isolated microorganisms in UTI showed very high resistance to the commonly prescribed antimicrobial drugs.This suggests the monitoring and rational use of the antimicrobial agents.Keywords: Mid-stream, Culture, Uropathogen, Resistance, Multiple antibiotic resistance.

Tract Infections

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most important issues in modern medicine. In developing countries, the use of antibiotics is a common practice, and due to this, antibiotic resistance has increased. The objective of this research was to update and report on the microbiological profile of urinary tract infections based on the number of positive urine cultures (UCs), resistance, sensitivity, and the prevalence of bacterial strains. The results were obtained from the database of a tertiary medical facility in Western Mexico. The number of positive UCs was 1769 from inpatients and outpatients who were users of medical services in the hospital from January to December of 2017. The most commonly isolated microorganism was E. coli, with 1225 cases, of which 603 (49.2%) were ESBL (Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-producing bacteria) strains. The resistance rate of nitrofurantoin was 36.6%, and meropenem showed the most promising results with a resistance rate of only 7.1%. Resistances to quinolones and cephalosporins among the isolates investigated were 51%–67%. Based on our results, it is necessary to increase controls and to improve management protocols in order to achieve better medical practices by reducing antibiotic resistance.
